And, that's all it would be - a guess, and likely a wrong one at that. When was the last time a large segment of the population was in 95% agreement on anything?
Based on the poll:
Fan preference: Keep the Mikes or hire Calabro
53.1% said
"Hire Calabro: he's one of the best in the business"
32.8% said "Keep the Mikes: they're part of the fabric of the franchise" - nowhere near your guess of 95%
14.1% said "To close to call: all depends on the color guy"
Yeah, that's a small sample size and those who responded are die hard fans that frequent this forum. So what about the more casual fans? I doubt if they give much of a fuck who calls the games - that's why they are casual fans.
This whole "outrage" over the change in broadcasters reminds me of the Draft the 'Stache campaign. A couple of the local radio guys were huge Adam Morrison fans and organized a Draft the 'Stache Rally, complete with free t-shirts, for like minded Morrison fans. They showed the "rally" on the local news broadcast and there were six guys there, half looked like homeless guys who probably didn't even know who Adam Morrison was, but were grateful for the free shirts Of course the radio guys were absolutely incredulous when we traded up and took Aldridge instead of Morrison.
And, like with a couple butt hurt Mike and Mike fans, there were a couple butt hurt Morrison fans who littered the forum with their "outrage" every chance they got for a couple seasons - until Morrison totally flamed out and Aldridge was a starter averaging 18/8 on a 54-win team. History showed the folly of their ways.
